Berkswell
Ewe's cheese • Hard • British
£8.50 – £34.00
Sweet and nutty with caramel notes and a tangy hard grainy texture. Berkswell is matured for around 4 months and has won many notable awards. It is similar to Pecorino or Manchego in style. This is an impressive looking cheese with a red, russet and golden hued rind.
Location:
Ram Hall, West Midlands
Tasting notes:
Conjuring up images of The Man Who Fell to Earth or Close Encounters of The Third Kind, you can’t get away from the rather unusual shape of this cheese. Take a closer look and you’ll find that as you prepare your Sunday roast you have a very familiar form resting in the sink with your broccoli draining. Indeed, a colander is in fact used to form this rather splendid Manchego/ Pecorino style cheese. Cheesemakers are nothing if not innovative!
